This is based off of this rendition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-eMvL4XvgQ which though it is not the original, is clearer. He was alone, out-side on the night his glory died she just sat and cried none of the rain, let it not fall from her face as a penance he could pay for his crime So he took, all he had And he ran, and he ran for his life left his wife How he longed, to be a child of light and for once in his life he ran Leave, leave me alone with my voices leave, leave me alone to my choices for I will be ruled by my vices So take your leave, from the words As they drip, from the mouths of a child Soft and low From the weight, from the sins of your rage and the way you would pay to take Leave, leave me alone with my voices leave, leave me alone to my choices cause I will be ruled by my vices Leave, leave me alone with my voices leave, leave me alone to my choices cause I will be ruled by my vices Leave, leave me alone with my voices leave, leave me alone to my choices cause I will be ruled by my vices
